Your questions answered by Ruth from Compare Funerals Spain
– Why should I have a funeral plan? Having been funeral planning for over 10 year I’ve experienced some very sad and upset families when nothing is in place. A Spanish funeral plans will ensure that all costs are covered for your funeral service. Getting a prepaid plan will help you feel assured that your family will not be under any financial strain when it comes to paying for your funeral. A plan also means you can have peace of mind that everything has been organised in advance, so your loved ones do not have to make any difficult decisions.
– Why choose Compare Funerals? There seems to be a gap in Spain between independent funeral directors, offering plans at a good price but lacking the security of an established Trust or ability to cover a client overseas and Providers who seem to charge more than necessary. We want to be right in the middle and offer the best of both worlds. Our best-priced plan is only 2,250€ and does the essentials.
– Can I do a payment plan? All our plans are payable in full or over up to 5 years interest FREE. The interest free periods are based on initial deposit. The higher the deposit the less your monthly repayments will be.
– Can I transfer the plan? The answer is YES. You could name 2 people on one plan however if you had a friend/family member pass away we can transfer the plan into a 3rd party’s name.
– What happens if I move? All our plans offer the equivalent service in Spain (including the islands), Portugal, Republic of Ireland and the UK. If you moved to the UK, we would transfer the plan to one of our many partners at no extra cost to you.
– Is paperwork included? Yes, your family will receive a death certificate in Spanish and an international certification in English. We also provide a cremation certificate that allows the ashes on board a plane.

SPAIN
Supreme Court rejects the appeals of Puigdemont and the Prosecutor’s Office and confirms that the amnesty does not apply to him: {Translation, summary}
– The examining magistrate in the case of the procés, Pablo Llarena, has dismissed the appeals filed by the former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont {pic} and the 
former ministers Antoni Comín and Lluís Puig, as well as by the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office, against his order in which he declared the amnesty not applicable to the crime of embezzlement of public funds for which they are being prosecuted.
– In an order, the Supreme Court judge stresses that the allegations lack any basis because the rule establishes the exclusion of the application of amnesty to crimes of embezzlement in cases where the subject acts with ‘the purpose of obtaining a personal benefit of a patrimonial nature’, which he understands to be the case of Puigdemont and the two former Catalan ministers, all of whom are on the run from justice.

Unemployment claims soar by 8% as Sánchez y Díaz make claims of ‘rocket ship’ labour market: {Translation, summary}
– The data continues to undermine the Government’s statistical make-up in labour matters. Libertad Digital has already published that hours worked in Spain remain at the level of the first quarter of 2008 – the year the subprime crisis began – and, therefore, it is impossible to speak of job creation, meanwhile the classic full-time jobs are being divided among more people with part-time, permanent, discontinuous jobs, etc.
– And many other data support this evidence. For example, so far this year, almost 190,000 fewer employment contracts have been signed in Spain and there are almost 200,000 fewer permanent jobs. Or, as the research department of the USO trade union now points out on the basis of official data, the number of applications for unemployment benefits ‘at national level registered in the month of July 2024 amounted to 706,435 (these are people who were working and are no longer working), which represents an increase of 7.9% over the same month of the previous year’.
– The data, in fact, point to a deterioration in the labour market that is totally incompatible with the Government’s optimism: ‘Social Security registered 21,198,679 registered in August, discounting seasonality and the calendar effect. This represents an increase of 355,743 people employed so far this year and 480,516 compared to the same month in 2023’. And this means that ‘the lowest growth rate in the last 10 years, except for 2020 (COVID), has just been signed’.
– Thus, ‘in August, average enrolment remained close to 21.2 million members (21,189,402), with 482,902 more than a year ago (+2.3%). This is 193,704 fewer employed than a month ago’, USO points out. In addition, ‘the end of August leads to a fall in enrolment; seasonality means that the last days of the month and Fridays see net falls in enrolment. The monitoring of daily enrolment, beyond the usual negative balances on Fridays, shows that on the last day of the month there was a negative balance of 64,573 and the net change at the end of the month was -41,459’, says the union.

Foreigners in prison have grown by 16% since 2020 compared to 3% for Spaniards: {Translation, summary}
– With migratory pressure in full swing, the Ministry of the Interior announced at the end of last month that the number of foreign prisoners in Spanish prisons has fallen by 35% in the last fifteen years. A trend that is only positive when compared to the peak of 2009 and which hides another reality: that this trend has been reversed in the last four years and has grown five times more among foreigners than among Spaniards.
– According to data from the same Ministry, foreigners in Spanish prisons have grown by 16% since 2020, when the decline of the previous decade was reversed, while Spaniards in prison have increased by 3% in the same period. Thus, foreigners now account for almost one in three inmates overall (31.4%), which triples their total presence in Spain, with 12.7% of registered inmates.
– The foreign prison population currently stands at 18,535, according to data from the General Secretariat of Penitentiary Institutions as of 1 July this year, obtained by ABC through a request to the Transparency Portal. This is 2,617 more than four years ago, when they fell below 16,000 for the first and only time in the last two decades. The growth of the foreign prison population is much faster not only in percentage terms, but also in total terms. While the increase of Spaniards behind bars in the last four years is 1,140 (from 39,262 to 40,402), that of the foreign population, despite being a small percentage of the overall population, is more than double in the same period, some 2,600.

Moroccans account for almost 30% of the total foreigners incarcerated in Spain, followed by Colombians (9.3%) & Romanians (7.4%): {Translation, summary}
– The countries of origin of prisoners in Spanish prisons reveal dynamics that go beyond the simple migratory presence. Although the nationalities with the highest number of registered inmates in Spain include communities such as Morocco, Romania and Colombia, not all of them are equally represented in the prison system. Curiously, countries such as Italy, the United Kingdom and Venezuela, which are among the main groups of foreign residents, are not among the most common nationalities of inmates.
– The foreign group with the largest presence in Spanish prisons is that of citizens of Moroccan origin. With 5,471 inmates, Moroccans represent 29.5% of the foreign prison population. This figure shows that one out of every three foreign prisoners in Spain is of Moroccan origin, reflecting a problem that the authorities must urgently address.
– Since 2020 the number of foreign prisoners has grown significantly compared to the Spanish prison population. According to figures obtained by ABC through the Transparency Portal, foreigners account for 31.4% of the prison population in Spain, which is three times their presence in the overall registered population in the country, which stands at 12.7%. This figure highlights a considerable disparity between foreign residents at liberty and those deprived of their liberty. While one in every thousand Spaniards is in prison, among foreigners this figure rises to three in every thousand. Moreover, the growth in absolute terms is much faster in this group since, in the last four years, the number of foreign prisoners has increased by 2,617, more than double the increase in Spanish prisoners in the same period.

Audit reveals €300 million in improper, “hand-picked” contracts in the Andalucian health system: {Translation, summary}
– A report by the auditors of the Andalucian Health Service (SAS) concludes that the government of Juanma Moreno’s Junta abused the emergency contracting system in 2021 by which time the pandemic was ‘very tempered’ and with the exceptional legal framework of Covid repealed, awarding some 300 million euros in contracts to private companies. According to elDiario.es, this practice, which violated the Public Contracts Law, was extended until 2023, according to the report by the auditors of the Andalucian Health Service (SAS), which denounces the abuse of the emergency contracting system in the 2021 financial year, with which almost 300 million euros were awarded to private companies, without advertising, competitive tendering or prior auditing.
– The audit body censures the Junta for the ‘improper’ use of this type of emergency contracts one year after the impact of the health crisis, stresses that these decisions had ‘no justification’ because, in May 2021, ‘the pandemic was already very tempered’, and because it was more foreseeable that in 2020, therefore, they should have already been contracted according to the ordinary procedure. The exceptional legislation that enabled the central government in the worst of the pandemic to streamline the response of the administrations to the health crisis had been repealed in May 2021.
– The SAS Intervention, the body responsible for auditing the regional accounts, 
issued a final ‘unfavourable’ report on all the finger contracts that were made during that budget year of 2021: in total there were 3,669 files for contracts for works, services and purchase of supplies, which mobilised 296.3 million euros for private clinics, suppliers linked to the sector or construction companies for the rehabilitation of hospitals. The 138-page audit report expresses an ‘unfavourable’ or adverse opinion, not only on the sample of contracts analysed – 126 files with an expenditure of 56.6 million euros – but also on the ‘misuse or abuse’ of the emergency contracting system during that year.
– The decision by the managing director of the SAS to continue awarding contracts by hand until the end of 2021, it argues, meant ignoring the instructions of the State Public Procurement Advisory Board (April 2020) and of the Andalucian Ministry of Finance itself, which had already warned the Health department in writing that, at that point, the use of emergency contracts to deal with COVID-19 should be ‘exceptional and residual’.
– The report criticises the Andalucian government for ‘unduly’ and ‘without any justification’ extending the hand-picked contracts throughout 2021, because in May of that year the central government had already expressly repealed article 16 of Royal Decree Law 7/2020, which allowed all administrations to circumvent the usual controls and speed up contracting in order to provide a more agile response to the pandemic.

Moreno announces an appeal against the amnesty- “It is an outrage- Andalusia is not going to look the other way”: {Translation, summary}
– The regional barons of the PP have begun to make their move in an offensive in front of the Constitutional Court against the laws of the President Pedro Sánchez. On Monday morning, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the PP leader from Madrid, announced that the Community of Madrid has filed an appeal with the Constitutional Court against the Amnesty Law for the Catalan coup perpetrators of the 1-O and the recusal of the judges Cándido Conde-Pumpido, Juan Carlos Campo and Laura Díez for their ‘public and notorious ideological ties with the PSOE’.
– After Ayuso, the next of the PP’s regional presidents to announce an appeal against the Amnesty Law in the TC was the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno {pic}, at the inauguration of the new judicial headquarters in Lucena (Córdoba). He said that “today we are going to present an appeal of 
unconstitutionality against the Amnesty Law, which from our point of view, and the point of view of our legal service in Andalusia, is an outrage against a fundamental right that Andalusia cannot, must not and will not look the other way”. Moreno pointed out that “we public officials have the obligation and moral duty to act to protect the general interest” and that “Andalusia will work hard to defend the equality of all Spaniards.” Source, Spanish: https://www.libertaddigital.com/andalucia/2024-09-09/moreno-anuncia-un-recurso-contra-la-amnistia-es-un-atropello-ante-el-que-andalucia-no-va-a-mirar-hacia-otro-lado-7161797/

Nine arrested in Malaga and Ibiza with more than a million ecstasy pills: {Translation, summary}
– The Civil Guard, within the framework of operation ‘Adriatico’, has arrested nine 
people in Ibiza and Malaga belonging to one of the main criminal organizations for the introduction of synthetic drugs in Spain that operated in different parts of Europe. The investigation began when the agents detected the existence of an organisation that would introduce drugs into Ibiza, using mules driving vehicles with double bottoms.
– As reported this Tuesday by the Civil Guard, during the operation more than one million ecstasy pills weighing 357 kilograms were seized. Additional drugs seized: 212 kilos of ketamine; 73 kilos MDMA; 20 kilos of cocaine; 21 kilos of pink cocaine; ten kilos of hashish and six kilos of marijuana, as well as three kilos of ‘sugar’, a substance used to make pink cocaine.

French woman dies on a beach in Nerja: {Translation}
– A 74-year-old woman died this Monday on La Torrecilla beach in the Malaga municipality of Nerja, where health workers who assisted her could only certify her death. This has been confirmed to Europa Press by sources from the 112 Emergency Service, which at around 5:40 p.m. received a notice that a woman who was in the aforementioned area of the Nerja coast was not breathing. The service mobilized the Local Police, the Civil Guard and health workers who assisted the 74-year-old woman and performed resuscitation maneuvers on her, although they could only certify her death.
– According to the newspaper ‘Sur’, the body of the woman, a French tourist, was rescued from the water by lifeguards from the beach, who have tried, together with the health workers, to revive her for almost an hour without success.

Police dismantle a 3000 plant indoor marijuana production center in Huétor Vega, second time in six months at the same location, same perps, same illegal power hookup, again confiscating €10,000+ of equipment!: {Translation, summary}
– The Guardia Civil and the Local Police of Huétor Vega, as part of Operation Green Island II, have once again dismantled a marijuana production centre in the town of Huétor Vega, as they did in March of this year. In this new phase of the operation, the agents have seized 2,899 cannabis sativa plants and 18,700 euros in cash. They have also arrested three people aged 58, 55 and 57, respectively, as alleged perpetrators of a crime of cultivation and processing of drugs and a crime of electricity fraud.
– Two of these individuals were arrested last March at the same address after discovering that they were responsible for a marijuana production centre in which Guardia Civil investigators seized 2,242 cannabis sativa plants and 665 grams of marijuana ready for sale.
– With the help of technicians from the electricity supply company and officers from the Local Police of Huétor Vega, agents from the Maracena Civil Guard’s Investigation Department discovered that there was an illegal connection to the electricity grid in a house in that town, where they had previously acted against the illegal cultivation of marijuana. After carrying out a series of measurements in this house, a peak of almost two hundred amperes was found, when the usual measurement in a single-family house is four amperes.

Kicking The Bear Is One Thing, Peeing In His Cave Is A Whole Different Story- Ukraine targets Moscow in biggest drone attack yet:
– Ukraine targeted the Russian capital on Tuesday in its biggest drone attack so far, killing at least one and wrecking dozens of homes in the Moscow region and forcing around 50 flights to be diverted from airports around Moscow. Russia, the world’s biggest nuclear power, said it had destroyed at least 20 Ukrainian attack drones as they swarmed over the Moscow region.
– The drone attacks on Moscow damaged a high-rise apartment building in the Ramenskoye district of the Moscow region {pic}, setting flats on fire, residents told Reuters.
– More than 70 drones were also downed over Russia’s Bryansk region and tens more over other regions, Russia’s defence ministry said. There was no damage or casualties reported there.
– As Russia advances in eastern Ukraine, Kyiv has taken the war to Russia with a cross-border attack into Russia’s western Kursk region that began on Aug. 6 and by carrying out increasingly large drone attacks deep into Russian territory. Photo: Maxim Shemetov.

EU Court confirms a fine of 2,424 million to Google for abuse of dominant position: {Translation}
– The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on Tuesday upheld the €2.424 billion fine imposed by the European Commission on Google in 2017 for abuse of a dominant position through its product comparison engine Google Shopping. The court thus dismissed the appeal brought by Google and its parent company, Alphabet, against a previous first instance judgment that had upheld the penalty, which when imposed was the largest ever handed down against a company for abuse of a dominant position.
– The European judges consider that ‘the General Court correctly ruled that, in this 
case, having regard to the characteristics of the market and the specific circumstances of the case, Google’s conduct was discriminatory and did not correspond to competition on the merits’. The case dates back to 2017, when the European Commission found that the multinational gave preference to the results of its own product comparison service over those of competing product comparison services.
– Specifically, Google presented the search results of its product comparison service at the top and highlighted them with attractive image and text information, while competitors’ products only appeared in a lower position in the form of a blue link.
